The divergent V2 protein encoded by parsley yellow leaf curl virus is a suppressor of transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing and a potential symptom determinant

It is demonstrated that the divergent V2 protein from PYLCV has the capacity to function as a viral suppressor of RNA silencing (VSR) and as a potential symptom determinant, suggesting relevant roles in viral pathogenicity analogous to those of other geminiviral V2 proteins.
